Samsung Launches New 2011 NX Series Lens Line Up

Samsung today announced five new lenses for its NX camera system.

All of the lenses are compatible with Samsung's i-Function system, which helps users create effects through quick controls.

The new lens range includes Samsung?s 18-200mm multi-purpose Long Zoom Lens. This model features modes which are optimized for creating high-quality movie content with a single lens. The new long zoom lens also has a fast, silent Auto-Focus due to Samsung's use of Voice Coil Motor (VCM) technology, so users can capture important events without recording the sound of the camera?s AF. The lens also features Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to cancel out any hand movement.

Samsung has also launched a compact 16mm F2.4 Ultra Wide Pancake Lens. The bright aperture of this lens helps to capture wider images even in low light, and deliver a shallow depth of field.

For the ultimate in super fast and silent Auto Focus, Samsung's new 60mm Macro Lens features a Super Sonic Actuator (SSA) to deliver a fast Auto-Focus and also has an Optical Image Stabilization. For more advanced photographers, the lens offers the ability to manually fine-tune focusing using the Full-Time Manual Focus.

The Premium Portrait Lens also launched today is the 85mm F1.4 CSC lens, designed for professional photographers. This lens also includes the SSA to provide a fast and silent Auto-Focus. Like Samsung?s 60mm Macro Lens, the 85mm Premium Portrait Lens also includes the Full Time Manual Focus, giving advanced photographer's greater control over their preferred settings.

Samsung's 16-80mm Advanced Standard Zoom Lens is optimized for taking great movies and still shots. Like the 18-200mm long zoom lens, it has a fast, silent Auto-Focus and Optical Image Stabilization. To make capturing great footage easy in any situation, the lens includes VCM modes ranging from landscape to portrait.
